  The Life Summary of Richard
  When Richard de Comyn was born on 1 January 1115, in Morayshire, Scotland, United Kingdom, his father, William de Comyn I, was 31 and his mother, Maud de Banastre, was 27. He married Hextilda fitz Huchtred of Tynedale in 1145, in Badenoch, Inverness-shire, Scotland. They were the parents of at least 4 sons and 4 daughters. In 1170, at the age of 63, his occupation is listed as justiciar of lothian. He died in 1179, in Tindale, Northumberland, England, at the age of 64, and was buried in East Lothian, Scotland, United Kingdom.
  
  Richard Comyn (d. c 1179) was a Scottish noble, the nephew of William Comyn.
  Richard was probably born between 1115 and 1123. In 1144, William Comyn gave him Northallerton Castle, which he had re-built a few years earlier. Shortly after, he received the castle and honour of Richmond as part of his uncle's settlement to renounce to Durham bishopric. Also in 1144, after three years of fighting at Durham his “favorite nephew”, another William died. Therefore, “. . .the families social climbing in Scotland continued after 1144 through William’s remaining nephew Richard who benefitted from the patronage of King David and especially his son, Earl Henry, to become the real founder of the Comyn family’s landed fortunes.
  In 1145, Richard was married to Hextilda, the daughter of Uchtred, Lord of Tynedale, and his wife Bethoc ingen Domnaill Bain, the supposed daughter of King Donald III of Scotland, although the chronology is suspect.
  
  In Scotland, he acquired the position of Justiciar of Lothian: he witnessed 6 charters for King Malcolm IV and 33 for King William I. He was captured with King William in 1174 and was a hostage for him in the Treaty of Falaise. He gave, with Hextida's consent, lands to the monks at Hexham, Kelso and Holyrood. He died between 1179 and 1182. Hextilda remarried to Máel Coluim, Earl of Atholl (also called Malcolm).
  
  Children
  Richard had four sons by Hextilda:
  1. John, died between 1152 and 1159, and buried at Kelso Abbey.
  2. William, jure uxoris Earl of Buchan.
  3. Odinel (also called Odo), a priest, witness to Richard's charters to religious houses in 1162 and 1166.
  4. Simon, mentioned in the 1166 charter to the Augustinians in Holyrood.
  
  and three daughters:
  5. Idonea
  6. Ada
  7. Christien
  
  His daughters were witnesses to a donation made by Máel Coluim, Earl of Atholl and their mother Hextilda to the Church of St Cuthbert in Durham.
